Two blocks A and B are joined together with a compressed spring. When the system is released, the two bloks appear to be moving with unequal speeds in the opposite directions as shown in figure.
Select incorrect statements(s) :

A

The centre of mass of the system will remain stationary.

B

Mass of block A is equal to mas of block B.

C

The centre of mass of the system will move towards right.

D

It is an impossible physical situation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(BCD)
As net force on system `= 0` (after released)
So centre of mass of the system remains stationary.

Three point particle A, B and C are projected from same point with same speed at t=0 as shown in figure. For this situation select correct statement(s).

Two masses A and B of mass M and 2M respectively are connected by a compressed ideal spring. The system in placed on a horizontal frictionless table and given a velocity uhat(k) in the z-direction as shown in the figure. The spring is then released. In the subsequent motion the line from B to A alwyas points along the hat(i) unit vector. All some instant of time mass B has a x-component of velocity as v_(x)hat(i) . The velocity vec(v)_(A) of mass A at that instant is :-

A spring of force constant k is kept in the compressesd condition between two blocks masses m and M on the smooth surface of a table as shown in figure .When the spring is released , both the blocks move in opposite directions .When the spring attains the orginal (normal ) position . both blocks lose the constacts with the spring . If x is the intial compression of the spring find the speeds of block while getting detached from the spring .

Two identical balls A and B each of mass 0.1 kg are attached to two identical mass less is springs. The spring-mass system is constrained to move inside a right smooth pipe bent in the form of a circle as shown in figure . The pipe is fixed in a horizontal plane. The center of the balls can move in a circle of radius 0.06 m . Each spring has a natural length of 0.06 pi m and force constant 0.1 N//m . Initially, both the balls are displaced by an angle theta = pi//6 radians with respect to diameter PQ of the circle and released from rest. a. Calculate the frequency of oscillation of the ball B. b. What is the total energy of the system ? c. Find the speed of the ball A when A and B are at the two ends of the diameter PQ.

Two blocks of masses 2.0 kg and 3.0 kg are connected by light inextensible string. The string passes ove an ideal pulley pivoted to a fixed axel on a smooth incline place as shown in the figure. When the blocks are released, find magnitude of their accelerations.

Two boats A and B are moving along perpendicular paths in a still lake at night. Boat A move with a speed of 3 m//s and boat B moves with a speed of 4 m//s in the direction such that they collide after sometime. At t=0 , the boats are 300 m apart. The ratio of distance of distance travelled by boat A to the distance travelled by boat B at the instant of collision is :-

The angular frequency of a spring block system is omega_(0) . This system is suspeded from the ceilling of an elevator moving downwards with a constant speed v_(0) . The block is at reast realtive to the elevator. Lift is suddenly stopped. Assuming the downward as a positive direction, choose the wrong statement :

A cylindrical container of radius 'R' and height 'h' is completely filled with a liquid. Two horizontal L -shaped pipes of small cross-sectional area 'a' are connected to the cylinder as shown in the figure. Now the two pipes are opened and fluid starts coming out of the pipes horizontally in opposite directions. Then the torque due to ejected liquid on the system is

The spring balance A reads 2 kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B reads 5kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass in inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation:

A particle of mass 4 m which is at rest explodes into masses m, m & 2m . Two of the fragments of masses m and 2m are found to move with equal speeds v each in opposite directions. The total mechanical energy released in the process of explosion is :-
